    Dear Alex
    Thank you very much for the feedback. Yes we are excited by the transformation that we see happening in both minds and landscapes through our work. We will update our website and other social media presence soon.

    Much appreciated

  • Thank you Mugove Walter Nyika for sharing your experiences and commitment with us. This talk is a verbal book of what Permaculture is about and how it connects between a community’s culture and a new, functional and environmentally safe agri-culture. This is a confirmation that what we’ve been teaching for twenty years now – integration of organic agriculture, local culture and appropriate technologies in deserts and dry-lands – is restorative and useful in making edible landscapes in schools and farms, especially as climate disruption spreads. I hope that you’ll update the http://seedingschools.org/ website and https://www.facebook.com/rescope.programme pages to include case studies and contact information because each success helps us as educators to spread the word and teach site specific solutions. I look forward to making contacting and working together.
